00:00:01.320 --> 00:00:03.438 align:middle line:90%
This is-- I won't say.

00:00:03.438 --> 00:00:07.850 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHS] Never mind.

00:00:07.850 --> 00:00:09.780 align:middle line:84%
Oh, well, this is
a new one, but I'm

00:00:09.780 --> 00:00:11.970 align:middle line:84%
becoming real paranoid
about my new ones

00:00:11.970 --> 00:00:17.040 align:middle line:84%
because they haven't been
tested before in the reading.

00:00:17.040 --> 00:00:20.370 align:middle line:90%
This is called "The Funeral."

00:00:20.370 --> 00:00:24.270 align:middle line:84%
"I squeeze the dice, joker
woman eats peanut brittle

00:00:24.270 --> 00:00:27.270 align:middle line:90%
and fans herself between bites.

00:00:27.270 --> 00:00:32.130 align:middle line:84%
I toss out my last $10,
Joker puts it back in my hand

00:00:32.130 --> 00:00:34.500 align:middle line:90%
and I stuffed it in my pocket.

00:00:34.500 --> 00:00:38.700 align:middle line:84%
I walk beside him, sweating
in the humid morning air.

00:00:38.700 --> 00:00:41.670 align:middle line:84%
The last of a procession is
strutting through the iron

00:00:41.670 --> 00:00:43.770 align:middle line:90%
gates of the cemetery.

00:00:43.770 --> 00:00:46.200 align:middle line:84%
Sweet William, the
granddaddy of pimps

00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:49.320 align:middle line:84%
has died, leaving a string
of horrors for someone else

00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:51.780 align:middle line:90%
to wear around his neck.

00:00:51.780 --> 00:00:54.780 align:middle line:84%
We go inside to where a
small crowd is gathered,

00:00:54.780 --> 00:01:00.090 align:middle line:84%
swaying as the preacher's voice
takes up the rhythm of a song.

00:01:00.090 --> 00:01:05.280 align:middle line:84%
The trombones wave a long
goodbye, they lower the coffin.

00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:06.900 align:middle line:90%
I shiver knowing death.

00:01:06.900 --> 00:01:09.510 align:middle line:84%
The black balloon is
floating over my head

00:01:09.510 --> 00:01:11.830 align:middle line:90%
like the Holy Ghost.

00:01:11.830 --> 00:01:14.340 align:middle line:90%
My cough taste blood, I spit.

00:01:14.340 --> 00:01:16.500 align:middle line:90%
Shit, Joker, you dark's titty.

00:01:16.500 --> 00:01:18.660 align:middle line:84%
I'm going to show you
how to make these dice

00:01:18.660 --> 00:01:20.670 align:middle line:90%
come seven every time.

00:01:20.670 --> 00:01:22.740 align:middle line:90%
I got the feeling now.

00:01:22.740 --> 00:01:25.650 align:middle line:84%
I wipe my mouth with a
stained handkerchief.

00:01:25.650 --> 00:01:31.610 align:middle line:84%
Please, man, the least you could
do, let me lose while I can."
